Step 6: Ears & Body are circles!

draw circles with gradient

here is the completed head ready for the body Ears are pretty easy. Just draw a circle (#bccbcb) and add the Gradient effect.

Duplicate the layer and re-size the circle to create the inner circle.

Now duplicate the 2 layers and move them to the right to create the right ear. I enlarged the right ear to add more cattiness to it grin

 

Step 7 : Body

now create the body with more circles

duplicate, reduce, and form the completed body. Now we'll create the body using another series of circles with gradients

Start with a wide oval shape using the Ellipse tool (#c3d0d0) and add the gradient effect.

Draw another circle inside the big one (#ebf2f2). Add the same gradient effect.

Select the first circle layer then right click and choose copy layer style. Right click the new circle layer and choose Paste layer style.

This way the gradient effect will be copied and applied to the new circle. Change the opacity to 55%.
